Hound Ears Club

Hound Ears Club is a private nine-hole course on Shulls Mill Road near Boone in the Blue Ridge High Country. The club operates within a gated mountain community that dates to the 1960s and includes lodging and dining alongside the golf facility. A driving range is available for members and guests.

The High Country around Boone and Blowing Rock sits above 3,000 feet, producing summer temperatures that rarely reach the extremes of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Boone Golf Club, Willow Creek, and Blowing Rock Country Club are all within a reasonable drive. Hound Ears has a low-key, family-oriented reputation, and the nine-hole format fits the relaxed pace that draws people to this corner of the mountains.
